West Ham continue to strengthen their squad in an effort to secure an immediate return to the Premier League following their relegation, and one of the players they want to sign is Patrick Berg.
Football Insider claims the Bodo/Glimt defensive midfielder, who starred for Norway at the 2026 World Cup, has emerged as one of the players they would love to add to their squad this summer.
Glimt are more than happy to have him in their squad and would keep him for as long as he is happy and comfortable staying. However, he has attracted a lot of interest from England during this window, with multiple Premier League teams also considering him a player they could sign.
West Ham Join Race for Berg
The report says the Hammers are the team with the latest interest in his signature and are prepared to add him to their squad this summer. They see him as an ideal player to include in the team that is fighting for promotion back to the top flight when this campaign ends.
Berg’s qualities have made him an attractive option for West Ham as they look to build a squad capable of competing for promotion. His experience with Bodo/Glimt and Norway has also increased the attention surrounding his future.
The interest from England means Bodo/Glimt could face a difficult decision if more clubs make their interest concrete. For now, however, the Norwegian side remains happy to have Berg as part of their squad.
Berg Happy at Bodo/Glimt
Berg is more than happy at Bodo/Glimt as they prepare for another season in the Champions League, and it will be a surprise if he opens the door to a move to the English Championship.
That does not make a transfer impossible, however, as there is a lot of money in the English game. The financial appeal of a move could potentially make the situation more complicated for Bodo/Glimt and Berg.
For West Ham, signing Berg would represent an opportunity to add a player they believe can help them achieve their objective of returning to the Premier League. The midfielder’s current happiness at Bodo/Glimt means they may have to work hard to convince him.
Bodo/Glimt will hope Berg remains committed to their plans, but the growing interest from England could make his future one to watch during the transfer window.
